Constance of Penthièvre (1140 – after 1184) was a Breton princess, daughter of Alan of Penthièvre, 1st Earl of Richmond, and Bertha of Cornouaille, suo jure Duchess of Brittany.

Marriages
In 1160, after the marriage of her brother Conan IV with Margaret of Huntingdon,Шаблон:Sfn the sister of the Scots king Malcolm IV, a marriage between Malcolm and Constance was considered.

Constance married firstly William FitzEmpress, a.k.a. “Tournemine”, third son of Geoffrey V, Count of Anjou and Empress Matilda, and younger brother of King Henry II of England and Geoffrey, Count of Nantes.
